Who may be able to join

  • The subject voluntarily gives informed consent to participate in the study.

About this study

Official title: Telemonitoring to Treat Group 2 Pulmonary Hypertension: A Personalized Approach

This study aims to decrease elevated pressure in the lungs of patients with pulmonary hypertension from left heart with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance by utilizing aggressive fluid management with ReDS Pro System and CardioMEMS device. Participants with persistently elevated pulmonary pressure at Week 16 will begin oral treprostinil in combination with the fluid management plan while those with improved pressures maintain their fluid management plan for an additional 16 weeks.

Read the detailed description

This study hypothesizes that monitoring with ReDS-Pro System (ReDS), aggressive fluid management, and the CardioMEMS device (a 3-prong approach) will improve CpcPH (combined pre and post capillary pulmonary hypertension) hemodynamics (Total Pulmonary Resistance [TPR] and mPAP). For patients who continue to have an elevate pulmonary vascular resistance (TPR) at Week 16, with ReDS, aggressive fluid management, and the CardioMEMS device should allow successful titration of oral treprostinil by preventing titration related pulmonary edema and by improving hemodynamics, activity monitoring and six minute walk test (6MWT) after 16 weeks of therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Treprostinil Diolamine in people with Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Left Heart Disease, run by Mardi Gomberg -Maitland MD, MSc at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with normal lung impedance as measured by the ReDS vest in Ohms at Week 16 (time frame: 16 weeks). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jun 2023.
